Sobou Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I exchanged video game gifts with a friend in Canada. He surprised me by buying me The Lost Vikings for the SNES, so I sent him a PS1 copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That's all I did for gifts this year though.

Bahamut Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I got a $10 gift card to Borders and some chocolate at a Christmas party a week ago, and some chocolate from a student of mine a little before that. I also got a white elephant gift of a clock with a pair of dice detailing each hour, but I traded that for a 1000 piece puzzle for my mom...which I forgot to bring back with me from Champaign-Urbana.

-{(echo)}- Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I got some Zune headphones, which a actually really good; they sound so awesome. =D I didn't really give anything material, but I played Carol of the Bells on the piano and Hark the Herold Angels Sing on my guitar for my grandparents, and me, my immediate family, my cousins, uncle and grandparents went caroling at the neighbors and my great-grandparents. I thought about playing the Underwater theme for the NES Super Mario Bros., but I don't think my grandparents would fully appreciate it. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLyGeN Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Metalocalypse season two Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to go get it. We had a secret santa at work, but since they suck at communication, I missed the actual gift exchange. I'll be giving my immigrant co-worker a teach yourself english book, since he's too stubborn to take classes I have yet to see what I'll get. I also got a case of this from my mom.

Vivi22 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I got my fiancee home safe and relatively uninjured (save some stitches and a fractured thumb) after she had a fairly serious car accident on the 23rd. I've given my time in staying home and looking after her until she's feeling better (she's in a fair bit of pain). Nothing else I gave or received really matters in comparison if you ask me.
